Coca-Cola FEMSA Greenlights Plant in Brazil

---

Researched by Industrial Info Resources (Sugar Land, Texas)--Coca-Cola FEMSA has selected Caçapava, São Paulo, Brazil, as the site for a new grassroot soft drinks plant, after a site selection process that lasted more than a year.

The project, owned by FEMSA subsidiary Coca-Cola SPAL Indústria Brasileira de Bebidas S.A., carries a total investment value (TIV) of R$1 billion (US$199 million) and is part of a broader effort to modernize the company's production and logistics operations in Brazil. Once operational, the plant is expected to produce about 400 million liters per year of Coca-Cola products.

Industrial Info Resources offers more information on this development in its Global Market Intelligence (GMI) Food & Beverage Plant and Project databases, where readers can find details--including construction schedules, investment values and necessary equipment--in a plant profile and project report.

The facility is expected to be one of the most modern beverage plants in Latin America, with extensive use of automation and artificial intelligence to improve production efficiency. Its design is expected to follow the company's sustainability guidelines, which focus on energy efficiency, water management, and the reduction of carbon emissions--aspects that are particularly relevant for a beverage plant, given its water and energy requirements.

The project is expected to create hundreds of direct and indirect jobs during its construction and operation. FEMSA chose Caçapava after weighing logistics, environmental factors, economic viability and infrastructure.
